Higher Grade Ore from the Tangana Vein Leads to Further 57% Increase in Silver Equivalent Processed in August

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 6, 2022 / SILVER X MINING CORP. (TSX-V:AGX) (OTCQB:AGXPF) (F:WPZ) ("Silver X" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a monthly operational update for August 2022.

August 2022 Highlights

• 195,038 silver equivalent ounces* (AgEq) processed in August, a 57% increase from July 2022.
• Average processing plant head grade of 18.29 oz/t (568.77 g/t) AgEq* in August
• August processing plant metal calculated recoveries of 87% for silver, 80% for gold, 84% for zinc and 89% for lead
• Intercepted the Cauca vein with a cross-cut at the 650 Level and started its underground exploration and development.
• Cauca development will allow for the eventual doubling of active fronts at Tangana
• Mine development focused on gold rich ore-shoots and prioritizing ore grades
• Advanced 327 meters of workings at Tangana, both in drifting along Tangana & Cauca veins, development ramps, and cross cutting.

In August 2022 the head grade at the Recuperada processing plant averaged 18.29 oz/t AgEq*. Recoveries at the plant were 86.88% for silver, 79.94% for gold, 88.77% for lead and 83.88% for zinc based on mass balance calculations.

*Note: Silver equivalent ounces for August were calculated using $1,766/oz Au, $19.8/oz Ag, $7,961/t Cu, $2,078/t Pb, $3,573/t Zn and does not consider metallurgical recoveries.

Please see "Cautionary Note regarding Production without Mineral Reserves" at the end of this news release.

In August 2022, Silver X continued to develop the Tangana 1 & 2 veins and intercepted the Cauca vein with a cross-cut at the 650 Level. Underground exploration and development at Cauca will allow for the eventual doubling of active fronts at Tangana. In the month, underground workings were extended by a further 327 meters.

Furthermore, the elevated gold content in recovered concentrate continues to drive increasing sale values with overall concentrate grades exceeding initial expectations. The installation in the Recuperada plant of a new, centrifugal gravity circuit for the recovery of free gold is on track to start operating in September. The Recuperada plant's analytical lab is now conducting fire assays for gold, reducing reporting times of results by several days, increasing operational efficiency.

"Having reached our initial target plant throughput in July we are now seeing the benefit of the higher grade ore being produced from the Tangana Vein" stated José M. Garcia, CEO of Silver X. "We have now reached our first target capacity of approximately 2M oz AgEq per year and are continuing our exploration programme in order to to further increase our resources which in due course will allow us to move to the next stage of production expansion. We remain on course to execute on our strategy to become one of South America's premiere silver districts"

Cautionary Note regarding Production without Mineral Reserves

The decision to commence production at the Nueva Recuperada Project and the Company's ongoing mining operations as referenced herein (the "Production Decision and Operations") are based on economic models prepared by the Company in conjunction with management's knowledge of the property and the existing estimate of inferred mineral resources on the property. The Production Decision and Operations are not based on a preliminary economic assessment, a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with the Production Decision and Operations, in particular: the risk that mineral grades will be lower than expected; the risk that additional construction or ongoing mining operations are more difficult or more expensive than expected; and production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a detailed economic and technical analysis in accordance with NI 43-101.
